Damning verdict on social care as peer says system needs a 'reckoning' Baroness Louise Casey has been tasked with leading an independent probe into social care, to pave the way for the 'National Care Service' that Labour promised in its manifesto

Damning verdict on England social care as peer says system needs a 'reckoning'.

22 major reviews over 3 decades. Govts do nothing.

No integrated healthcare system. Social care privatised. Corporations profiteering. Public money buys less. Govt handing the NHS to them as well

End privatisation.

These headlines should always read “New secondary moderns set to return”, since that’s where most kids will go under that system.

I love a really good fake quote.

This one has all the ingredients because it sounds nothing like Orwell, is poorly written, and incredibly dumb.

"But if you attach a famous name and deliver it with whispered gravitas, there will always be dumbasses who'll believe it."

No, and if youre doing that a grammar style structure with a flawed aptitude test at 11 isnt the way to do it

That's a good point. By bringing back Grammar Schools, you also bring back Not Grammar Schools.

I think people are starting to realise that competence is better than populism. There is a definite feeling on the doorstep that Reform are in decline.

And now… BIG KID ALERT!

These are not serious people.

Good morning , and thank you to Paula Sanders for sharing these two for your #FoxOfTheDay !

No, they knew. They targeted the school because some of the students were the daughters of military officers.

They did the same thing in Yemen last year, and Israel's been doing it for 2 decades.

This is just who they are now. It's what our military IS.

Some gold from the Staffordshire Hoard which was discovered in 2009 near the village of Hammerwich in Staffordshire - the largest collection of Anglo-Saxon gold & silver metalwork ever found. This item is from the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery in Stoke. 📸 My own. #FindsFriday

Saying goodbye to the bird-legged hoe.

This is honestly one of the most anti-Jewish things I’ve ever seen from the United States government.

Favourite #WorldBookDay moment ...
Asked a hall full of children if any of them knew what a Dalek was ... girl RAN up to the stage and announced ... it's a small onion but strong. Cut it and you'll cry.

Me: .... thinking ...
Me: .. still thinking ...
Finally ...
... Garlic.

Sunlit woodland bank covered in bright green moss (a bryophyte). Fox-tail Feather-moss (Thamnobryum alopecurum) forms lush draping growth over a sloping bank at the base of a tree, the shoots rising and branching like tiny green trees or soft fox-tail plumes. Nearby a Hart’s-tongue fern (Asplenium scolopendrium) grows with long strap-shaped fronds. Winter sunlight filters through bare woodland branches in the background.

The woods were so beautiful today...

Ukraine is ready to exchange its interceptor drones for Patriot missiles, Volodymyr Zelensky said regarding the war in the Middle East.

MASSIE: “Iran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leader… 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 turned him into a martyr, expended billions, 6 🇺🇸 families must now lay to rest their sons & daughters. And for what? This administration can't even give us a straight answer.”

Almost nobody in the media reported on the former Tory Government's sweeping power grab of the electoral commission. This week Labour have announced that they will reverse what Boris Johnson did and return the commission to independence.

Ofcourse Labour will get absolutely no credit for doing this

We have a depraved,rogue President who has no boundaries and the GOP IS TOO COWARDLY to put up guardrails like Gen. Milley and Gen. Kelly did. The criminals running our country are now totally okay with our troops dying in an illegal and forever war. Immigrants are dying in our concentration camps.
